ut harry reid has not left for easter or passover recess before completing that. basically, the 60 hows of post closure debate time could be mited if they can get an unanimous consent but the senator from kansas blocked it because he wants an amendment on the federal aviation administration budget to allow them to have more money to stop the furloughs of the air traffic controllers. this has hit his state really heard and they are not giving him that vote so far. it is a slippery slope idea. they give him his vote they would have a flood gate opened. at one point there is 90 amendments to the c.r. and they are trying to avoid the situation where you gave him a vote and i need one too. then they would be in a delayed process. >> is this a debate over sesk amendments or as some democrats suggest republicans try to slow the bill? >> that is possible too. ironically if the senate is forced to give up a budget this week and push it after easter that would look back for democrats. it could william back to the senate democrats not having to pass a budget in four year. un
